Global Community Communications Alliance

The Global Community Communications Alliance (GCCA) is a Jesusonian new-thought faith community and spiritual organization based in southern Arizona. According to its official website, it was founded in Sedona in 1989 and has since grown into what it describes as a "living, breathing spiritual ecosystem" spanning Tucson, Sedona, and the Rio Rico/Tubac corridor. Its headquarters is listed at Tumacácori, Arizona, and it presents itself as a residential, spiritually-based community whose members largely share daily life on the same land. The organization describes itself as a "Jesusonian faith community" grounded in the living teachings of Jesus and the presence of God within all things. It states that it is not fundamentalist and not bound by conventional Christianity, instead positioning itself as a steward of "new epochal revelation." It studies The URANTIA Book and other religious texts alongside new thought, consciousness science, and holistic wellness — an approach it calls "Ascension Science." Its stated aim is to build an entirely new culture of conscious, sustainable, and spiritually-integrated living, where growing food, raising children, creating art, self-governance, care for the sick, and tending the land are all expressions of a unified spiritual consciousness. GCCA operates as a community rather than a conventional church or commune. Its website emphasizes worship, study, prayer, wellness, conscious learning, and service, and it invites visitors to schedule tours. It maintains a public presence through its website, blog, events, and FAQs, and describes itself as having thirty-seven years of community-building experience as of its About page. The organization is private and does not appear to be publicly listed. Its co-founder, Niánn Emerson Chase, is quoted on the website: "True spirituality is not the words that we speak, but it is how we live our lives."

The Global Community Communications Alliance was founded in Sedona, Arizona, in 1989. According to its official About page, it began as a Jesusonian new-thought faith community rooted in what it calls "new epochal revelation" and committed to building a new culture of conscious, sustainable, and spiritually-integrated living. Over the decades that followed, it grew from its Sedona origins into a multi-site spiritual ecosystem spanning Tucson, Sedona, and the Rio Rico/Tubac corridor in southern Arizona. Its headquarters is now listed at Tumacácori, Arizona. The organization describes itself as having thirty-seven years of community-building experience, and frames its history as an ongoing effort to embody spiritual principles not only in belief but in daily thought, feeling, and action. It positions itself outside fundamentalism and conventional Christianity, instead presenting Christ as a living cosmic reality and studying The URANTIA Book alongside new thought, consciousness science, and holistic wellness — an approach it calls Ascension Science. GCCA is primarily a residential community: most members share daily life on the same land, with days rooted in spiritual practice, conscious learning, wellness, and the work of building a thriving, spirit-centered culture. Its public-facing activities include worship, study, prayer, events, a blog, and guided tours for visitors. The co-founder Niánn Emerson Chase is quoted on the website as saying, "True spirituality is not the words that we speak, but it is how we live our lives."
